More Filler

I saw a Westy Vanagon at the grocery store the other day and its license plates ("GO WESTY") reminded me to make this post. It might look like an ad for them, but really it's not. It's just that we don't have much to post about right now, as the insurance situation is unfolding in re: Fang Fang and Gertie, and I have to keep mum about that. Ludwig is currently doing duty as our "daily" driver (scare quotes because we really don't drive anything daily), a job he doesn't mind, but sometimes he itches for the hum of fourth gear.

GoWesty sells refurbished Vanagons on their site and most of them are in the mid- to upper-five figures, but recently one went for over $120,000. Where do people get that kind of money? The really pricey ones are usually Syncros (4WD) like this one. These photos are from May of 2005 when I drove to Los Osos to get seatbelts for Ludwig.


GoWesty mostly deals in Vanagons and (blecccch) Eurovans, but they deal with bays sometimes too.

There's Ludwig, hanging out at GoWesty.
